This is almost always played for laughs, rather than titillation. It works partly because actual bestiality is rare enough to seem less "real" than other acts considered perverted, similar to the unreality of cartoon violence — yet common enough that it's more plausible (and perhaps less gross?) than necrophilia. We don't normally worry about the animal, because of said unreality and our moral distance from animals. It helps that the animals in question are not anthropomorphized and are usually the more "comical" ones found in nature (goats, sheep, chickens). Also, there are no "Bestiality Pride" parades of the type that would inspire letter writing campaigns against the trope's use.

For some reason, the most Acceptable Target among the British, especially regarding sheep, appear to be the Welsh, followed by people from Dumfries and Aberdeen. Also, Australians and New Zealanders seem to be fond of accusing each other of excessive fondness for said animal. Latin Americans get this a lot too, especially with regards to donkeys. Sometimes also alleged toward Bedouins and other groups who have long nights alone in the desert with no company except goats and camels. The American version is usually aimed at rednecks, although the more northerly states of New England get some ribbing too. In Russia, the usual targets of the trope are Caucasians. Germany's target of choice is Austria; Austria's target of choice are people from Vorarlberg, Tyrol and other rural alpine states.

For the trope where people remember something naughty the character did and nothing else about the character who did it,note i.e. the former name of this page, "But You Screw One Goat!" see Never Live It Down.

Anime and Manga

Full Metal Panic!: The Second Raid has a scene where Gates was apparently masturbating to the sight of kittens (that or he was watching something else and just switched channels when he was interrupted).

In My Bride Is a Mermaid, Nagasumi and his dad stumble across a mermaid porn DVD in a box of mermaid aerobics videos. When they both eagerly sit down to watch it, they're both stunned to find erotic footage of... fish. Ordinary fish. Nagasumi's dad casually questions his interests, and the humiliated Nagasumi dies a little more inside...

Bestiality is surprisingly common in Osamu Tezuka's oevre, used to characterize depraved and nihilistic characters.

In Re-Kan!, Ero-Neko is an inverted example, being a perverted cat who likes to watch girls changing in their locker room. He later tries to sneak a peek up Hibiki's skirt as well.

Played with, but also treated seriously and ultimately averted in Guru Guru Pon Chan, a story about a puppy who gains the power to transform into a girl thanks to mad science and falls in love with a human boy. He likes her as well, but worries that he'll become known as "the pervert who does it with dogs" if the relationship becomes serious. In the end, They Do, they even get married, and it turns out that (almost) Everybody Knew Already and approves of their relationship.

Art

Hokusai's notorious erotic print "Octopi and Shell Diver" (often known in English by its earlier, inaccurate, translated title "Dream of the Fisherman's Wife") shows a woman engaged in sexual activity with two large octopi. Despite the print often being claimed as the Ur-Example of "tentacle rape" in Japanese pop-culture, the dialogue captions clearly indicate that all parties are consenting.

Comedy

Cheech and Chong's skit "Hey Margaret" has the couple Harry (Chong) and Margaret (Cheech) watching a porno movie where, among other things, the lead actress has sex with a dog. Also, in "The Old Man In The Park", where the Old Man (Chong) tells the Punk (Cheech) that the Punk could be his son because "I used to fuck Buffalo. In fact, you look just like your momma."

One of Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might be a Redneck"s is "If your parole states you can not own sheep".

And from the Blue Collar Comedy Tour: "If you think The Silence of the Lambs is what happens when Larry walks out to the barn..."

Made even better when they show a picture of Larry in his undies in a hotel room...with a sheep! The others don't even try to hold back their laughter.

Jim Gaffigan, in a hidden track at the end of the album "Doing My Time," plays a character who talks about how he is always reminded of fucking a donkey when he returns home. His excuse: "I was drunk and he mumbled something."

Ellen DeGeneres did a bit about folks objecting to gay marriage stating "next thing, people will be marrying goats" and wondering why they always go there first thing. "Mom, Dad... this is Billy."

Joe Rogan: "You don't fuck sheep because they're hot. You do it because they're that high and no one's looking. Or there's a guy with a camera and he's giving you money."

In Bob Saget's HBO Special That Ain't Right, Bob goes on a long riff to randomly-picked audience member Jared, warning him about the dangers of fucking various animals, including goats, ostriches, turtles, and porcupines.

He enters his Comedy Central roast in an elevator preceded by two hot girls, an elderly woman and a goat. Saget's first act is to zip up his fly and to mime to the goat to call him.

Adam Hills relays a story about a conversation with an audience member who had worked in forensics in Wales. The man told a story about a farmer who, during the foot-and-mouth crisis, had loved his cows so much that he had taken them into a field and shot them before shooting himself. When Hills expressed his sympathies for the farmer, the audience member clarified that the man “really loved his cows”, as he had no partner, no pornography, but a lot of Viagra. When Hills was still doubtful, the man continued “We swabbed the cows.” Apparently, they got positive results on six out of forty-eight. Hills ends the story with “I know, but all I could think was; what was wrong with the other forty-two? Were they not as pretty or just faster?”

Dave Chappelle has a bit talking about the theory that AIDS came from someone having sex with a monkey, saying that nobody goes from monkey sex back to people.

You're not gonna get some monkey pussy on Tuesday and then say, "Oh, let me call Charlene" on Thursday. Once you fuck a monkey, that's a firm decision. I'm out of the human pussy game for good.

Later he discusses a hypothetical person who has sex with monkeys:

So y'all can keep fucking these people if you want, niggas. Mo' monkey pussy for me. I'm hooking up with an orangutang next week.

German satirist Jan Böhmermann did notnote the usual cheapskate "may I call an asshole Officer?" trick insult Turkish president Erdogan with this trope. Needless to say, Erdogan was not amused, even Kurds defended him (the whole thing was seen as having a unsavory racist angle) and Böhmermanns "poem" backfired so royally that it became an affair of state and he will look forward to a trial based on the ancient §103 (crimen laesae maiestatis).

A quote from "Dave Barry in Cyberspace": "The Web brings people together because no matter what kind of a twisted sexual mutant you happen to be, you've got millions of pals out there. Type in, 'Find people that have sex with goats that are on fire,' and the computer will say, 'Specify breed of goat.'"

Comic Books

A famous joke and former page quote is replicated nearly word for word in Transmetropolitan (except it's a janitor in a convention hall and not a farmer) with throwaway character "Bill Chimpfucker".

Deconstructed in Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run. After pictures of her and (the admittedly anthropomorphic) Swamp Thing are shown in newspapers, Abigail Cable is arrested for her relationship and charged with "crimes against nature", the laws that would usually be used to prosecute the aforementioned screwers of farm animals. She's arrested, fired from her job, her reputation is ruined, everyone starts treating her like a horrible sex offender, and Swampy is forced to cover almost the entirety of Gotham in greenery in order to secure her release. It is up to Batman to point out that if the authorities are going to arrest everyone in The DCU who has a relationship with a non-human, and it's the delivery that just nails it as a literalSpace Whale Aesop. Eventually we will run into intelligent non-humans, and perhaps the biggest part of What Measure Is a Non-Human? is whether or not we believe them - or they believe us - worthy of love.

Batman: I mean, if you want to take this all the way, non-humanity doesn't end with the Swamp Thing. Let me see... You'll possibly have to arrest Hawkman... and Metamorpho... ...And there's also Starfire, from the Titans. Her race evolved from cats, I believe... The Martian Manhunter, obviously. CaptainAtom... And then of course there's what's-his-name... the one who lives in Metropolis.

Also gets a deconstructive nod in X-Men. Beast's already blue and furry, but when he undergoes a secondary mutation that leaves him looking more feline than hominid, his girlfriend breaks up with him because the tabloids start comparing the relationship to bestiality.

Being blue and furry was also a secondary mutation that caused his previous girlfriend to break up with him. Beast originally just had unusual proportions and extreme acrobatic ability.

A favorite of Garth Ennis, particularly in Preacher, where Jesus de Sade, the world's wealthiest and most accomplished pervert, is offered an armadillo on a silver platter by his manservant. De Sade is also stated to have sodomized all the city zoo's larger quadrupeds, leading to the armadillo incident above. Also, during the party thrown by De Sade, we see a guy in the stocks surrounded by sheep, saying "Do it, you sluts!".

In Batman: Dark Allegiances, an Elseworlds story set in the 1930s, one character keeps insinuating that there is a blue movie of actress Kitty Graymalkin (a.k.a. Catwoman) having unnatural relations with a Rottweiler.

Ramba: In one scene in "Violent Death", Ramba has her pet cat Lucifer lick her vagina after finding out she has another target to assassinate.

Done twice by the Italian comic book Rat-Man. As usual with the series, it's completely insane:

The superhero Marvel Man had his career ruined when the press exposed the fact he had sex with a sheep. Then Rat-Man had sex with the same sheeep... And it's thesheepwho got her career ruined! She then got back together with Marvel Man.

Back when Rat-Man was a child, Boda Valker had many politicians in his pockets thanks to blackmail. The example we're shown is him having pictures of the president having sex with a sheep and blackmailing him and the sheep.

Cherry has sex with a dolphin in one issue of Cherry Comics.

An infected man rapes and stabs a dolphin to death while singing about his mother in Crossed.

Oddly deconstructed/ignored when it comes to Doom Patrol villains The Brain and Monsieur Mallah during Grant Morrison's run. The former is normally a disembodied Brain in a Jar and the latter is a scientifically evolved genius gorilla. When The Brain was temporarily place in a robot body, they confessed their love for each other. The species difference is rarely, if ever mentioned. All that gets mentioned is that they are both male.

In the Power Girl series it's strongly implied that Satanna had sex with the Ultra-Humanite after he first was transplanted into his gorilla body, much to PG's disgust.

Goldilocks grew up into a psychotic murderer who's in a sexual relationship with Baby Bear and expresses interest in other non-humans like goblins.

Averted with Snow White's relationship with the Big Bad Wolf/Bigby, which is always treated as a true romance, plus Bigby can take human form.

Comic Strips

In the book-only Dilbert collection Dogbert's Clues for the Clueless, Dogbert says that a mother has a lifetime right to tell embarrassing stories about her children. Cut to a woman, seated beside her grown son, asking someone "Did I ever tell you about Jeffrey's first visit to the zoo?...Well, Jeffrey was just reaching puberty and still confused about a lot of things..." The son begs her in anguish to stop, but to no avail: "And to this day he's still banned from the monkey cage area."

"Well, well, another blonde hair. Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"

Allegedly, Goodall's lawyer sent Larson a strongly-worded letter about the comic... followed by a letter from Goodall herself saying she thought it was hilarious.

Fan Works

Dungeon Keeper Ami: The Tales of Keeper Mercury's depravity are the stuff of legend. Features this as a running gag. Actually averted, but try telling anyone that...

Hitman Miami: Chapter 2 has the "Q.A. Head of the Spork Department" who is involved in illegal ferret smuggling. He uses the ferrets himself for... specific activities. Agent 47 comes upon him in the middle of said... specific activities, and can kill him easily by emitting a radio frequency that causes all ferrets to go vicious.

The more questionable side of Pokémon fandom was rife with this stuff even before the main games started suggesting it.

In Spirit Of Redemption there is a blink and you miss it line about how one of the brothers of the leader of the Turian government had a livestock habit.

In The Stalking Zuko Series fornicating with koala sheep will get one removed from the Fire Lord succession. Zuko's crew is full of people who have been disgraced in some way or another, and "unmentionable acts with a koala sheep" is why Pi ended up there.

In Past Lives Voldemort has one of his minions cast a spell on him which makes you relive previous lives. On the first attempt he acts like a cow, while the second results in sheep-like behavior. Two of the "stranger" Death Eaters volunteer to look after him on the latter occasion.

The last words the Death Eaters heard as they popped out would haunt them forever. "Hey...let's find a fence to push this feller up against."

In House of Snakes a time-and-dimension-traveling Harry gives Sirius an old Black family grimoire for Christmas.

Hadrian: It details some of the less known exploits of your illustrious family, including a time when one of our great ancestors attempted to mate with the giant squid.

In The Obligatory Marriage Law Fic Harry, having replaced Minister Fudge's intended rape victim with a transfigured pony earlier, threatens to reveal the situation to the press unless he legalizes Harry's marriage to Ginny Weasley, who wasn't on the Ministry of Magic's list of intended brides.

Harry: If you don't start doing what I tell you to do, you'll find that the press has photos of yourself with that pony. My camera won't show her in the transfigured state either. Oh, no. She'll be there in all her equine glory.

In Magical Relations Sirius tells Harry why the burn marks on the Black family tree tapestry are there and comments in passing that one of the things the Blacks should have disowned family members for is an unhealthy obsession with sheep.

In Faery Heroes Harry calls Snape out for his unprofessional behavior.

Harry: I hereby call into effect section nineteen, subsection three of the Hogwarts Faculty Code of Conduct. Hermione: You mean subsection two. Subsection three concerns the groundskeeper being caught engaging in sodomy during a school day with an animal from the previous week's Care lessons. Harry: That's... oddly specific, and I really don't want to know why.

A Tsukihime fanfic made a meme out of the line "That's all right... A cat is fine, too" after the dojinshi portrays Shiki as a Memetic Molester who wants to do terrible things to Len. When Len tries to escape via transforming into a cat, Shiki utters that immortal line.

Ron: And then I arranged for a farmer I know to send a letter to Draco asking if he wanted another night with Cindy Lu Swine before she was scheduled to become pork chops? If he didn't want her, then he might be interested in Little Soo-Wee?

What curse did Gilderoy Lockhart cure the Transylvanian villagers from?Himself. He left. The villagers cheered, and made mad passionate love to all the animals in the area. Gilderoy was upset when he found out, 'cause he missed out on the sheep.

Films — Live-Action

In Kingpin, the heroes have Vanessa Angel distract bowling opponents. It mostly works, except with a team of farmers. So they bring in this sheep...

A sex researcher asks a heavily accented man about his first sexual experience, and he says what sounds like "with a horse." Stunned, the researcher asks more about the man's sexual experimentation with animals, to which the man exclaims "It's true, I fucked a pony. How did you know?" Turns out he had said "with whores" the first time.

The 2009 Star Trek movie has Uhura invoke this while snubbing Kirk's advances:

Uhura: Oh, I thought you were just a dumb hick who only has sex with farm animals. Kirk: Well, not only.

In the whole "Shepherd and shrink" part of Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex, But Were Afraid to Ask, this takes the form of Critical Psychoanalysis Failure, as Gene Wilder's character is treating a Funny Foreigner in love with a sheep, and winds up falling in love with the sheep himself. The sheep in lingerie! Yikes!

In Night on Earth, a cab driver (Roberto Benigni) confesses to his priest passenger that he's had sex with both a pumpkin and a sheep, going into lurid detail about said acts. The confession proves too much for the priest to take, and he has a heart attack and dies.

It also has Kevin Kline mistaking the "contact" between Jamie and a gorilla.

District 9: After Wikus flees the Corrupt Corporate Executive and his goons, the media reports that he had sex with aliens and contracted an STD. Every human he talks to after that for the rest of the movie comments on his alien sex, which they think is the cause of Wikus' steady transformation into an alien. Totally justified in that thanks to MNU's propaganda, that's all anyonedidknow about Wikus.

In one film version of Vilhelm Moberg's The Emigrants, one of the main characters begs to be taken along to America because everyone back home torments him about his suggested trysts with a cow. It's fairly likely it's just an unsubstantiated tale, but that doesn't stop it from ruining his life.

In Far and Away, Joseph uses this trope to insult his drunken brothers when they start giving him trouble.

A prostitute in Unspeakable claims to have once been a popular porn star who fell out of favor, forcing her to do weird and illegal videos, one of which involved a poodle.

While having sex with a chocolate pastry, the Fat Idiot from Famine mentions he once raped a cat.

The Angel's Melancholy has a woman make out with the butchered remains of a pig, and later she gets intimate with a goat. This appears unsimulated.

In Midnight Run, Johnathan "The Duke" Mardukas tries to engage Jack Walsh in a conversation by discussing this trope.

Jonathan "The Duke" Mardukas: You ever had sex with an animal Jack? Remember those chickens on the Indian reservation? There were some good looking chickens there Jack. You know, between us...

Jack Walsh: Yeah, there were a couple there I wouldn't mind taking a shot at.

...at which point they both laugh.

The lost filmConvention City (1933) includes a drunk conventioneer leading a goat back to his room.

And in The Merry Wives of Reno (1934), a rancher seems more interested in his prized sheep than his blonde wife.

The trolls in Frozen lampshade Kristoff's relationship with Sven as this trope, though it is downplayed (as is to be expected for a Disney film).

Part of the fraternity hazing for the dwarf frat in American Pie Presents: Beta House is to have sex with a sheep. The thing is, they dont expect the applicants to ACTUALLY do it, its just meant as a mindfuck. The pledges either give up, or realizes the catch and just jerk off into a condom and claim they did it. Its revealed that the villain of the movie had actually gone through with it, and the experience messed him up so much that sheep are now a secret fetish for him, which the Beta's use in the final challenge of the Greek Olympiad.

Airplane! has Captain Ovuer's wife cheating on him...with a horse. She tells him to leave out the back door, and that juice is in the fridge.

The Devil's Rejects: Charley and his assistant go to buy some chicken for dinner, and the chicken-farmer selling it asks if they've ever fucked a chicken... and starts providing a lot more information than either of them could have possibly required.

Spanish horror Lobos De Arga has Calisto, who snuck out one night to have sex with a sheep. When said sheep later fell pregnant, he was scared that he was the father.

Subverted in Bachelor Party, in which the groom-to-be's buddies arrange for a hooker to have sex with a mule as a party floor show. Before anything overt can actually happen, the mule wanders over to a nearby drug-user's table and snorts a massive dose of cocaine, then keels over from heart failure.

In monster rock band GWAR's first movie Phallus in Wonderland, Grambo of the Morality Squad proves in court that Cuttlefish of Cthulhu is really a penis instead of a fish by presenting it a magazine called "Fun with Mules", which excites it quite a lot.

Folklore

A number of rulers and other high-ups have been slandered by more or less fabricated accusations of zoophilia, the most notable victim of such slander being Catherine the Great.

Sending only girls, young boys, or old geezers to herd animals was the prevalent habit in Finland for the same reasons.

While it's not folklore per se, there is a long tradition of nations and cultures accusing their neighbors of sleeping with animals. This continues into the modern day. Consider the relationship between New Zealand and Australia or Scotland, England and Wales; in the U.S., the Rural Midwest and the Deep South are the usual targets. For some reason it quite often seems to be sheep.

Sheep have sex organs that are "essentially the same" as humans (per answers.com); they also have better control of the muscle responsible for tightening/loosening the opening of the vagina.

One of the standard jokes: "Country X, where the men are men, and the sheep are nervous."

Another standard joke: "In Country X, they recently discovered another use for sheep. Wool!"

And "Why do CountryXers have sex on clifftops? The sheep push back harder."

In most countries, it's "Hey you, get off my cloud." But in Scotland, it's "Hey McLeod, get off my ewe!"

What do you call a sheep tethered to a lamppost in Cardiff? A rec centre. (See QI in Live-Action TV below for the reaction of Welsh comedian Rob Brydon to this joke.)

Why do Scots wear kilts? Because the sheep started running when they heard a zipper.

In modern Russian folklore, people from Caucasus and Central Asia are referred to as "sheep/goat/donkey fuckers". A typical joke goes something like this: Why do Georgians have two donkeys in a stable, a larger and a smaller one? The larger one is for adults to "ride"; the smaller one is for children.

Hungarians are notorious for their elaborate cusswords and one of the nastiest goes something like "I wish you were ass-raped by a horse" (literally: "A horse's dick up your arse"). Another Hungarian expression is one that urges the other person to have oral sex with a horse. It means, roughly, "screw you". The latter is considered very vulgar, but the first can also be used jokingly, depending on social context.

Some people are under the delusion that people go into marine biology want to do naughty things with fish, dolphins, and cephalopods. Needless to say, actual marine biologists (and people who actually want to be actual marine biologists) are not amused. The same rule of thumb goes for the technical term for livestock farming — Animal Husbandry.

In pre-Christian Ireland, the ceremony for the inauguration of the High King in Ulster involved the king copulating with a mare. It should be noted that the main account we have for the bestiality is Gerald of Wales, who was a member of the royal family trying to justify the Norman invasion by claiming the Irish needed to be civilized by the Normans. There is evidence that horses were sacrificed and eaten at Tara, but there isn't any reliable evidence that bestiality occurred. That said, bizarre sexual rituals for the affirmation of royalty were common around the ancient world.note For example, the Egyptian Pharaoh would masturbate into the Nile each year as part of the spring festival to ensure a good harvest, and Mesopotamian kings would have ritual sex with the high priestess of the city for the same reason — and these are just the examples from the Middle East (where they could write about this stuff). Although a similar ritual might be mentioned in Fermanagh (right next door to Ulster), although it doesn't include the bestiality part.

A young man is walking through a small village one day and decides to stop by a bar and have a beer. He walks into a bar, and sees a grizzled old man, crying into his beer. Curious, the young man sits down and says, "Hey old timer, why the long face?"The old man looks at him and points out the window, "See that dock out there? I built that dock with my own two hands, plank by plank, nail by nail, but do they call me McGregor the dockbuilder? No, no."The old man continued, "And see that ship out there? I've been fishing these waters for my village for 35 years! But do they call me McGregor the fisherman? No, no."The old man continued, "And see all the crops in the farms out there? I planted and have been farming those crops for my village for nearly 45 years! But do they call me McGregor the farmer? No, no."The old man starts to cry again, "But you screwone goat..."

Theres a military joke about a young (Army/Marine) Lieutenant's first time in Iraq, with the punchline being his Sergeant explains that he was supposed to ride the camel into town to pay a hooker.

That's only the latest update of a joke that's at least as old as colonialism in the Middle East.

The latest (as 2015) update is told in "A Hologram for the King" by Dave Eggers (the "Circle" guy).

Another joke describes a young shepherd who, lonely with the long hours alone in the fields with his sheep, was horrified to find himself starting to cast sideways glances at his charges. He asked an older, more experienced shepherd for advice, and was told to train a vicious dog to attack him if he started disrobing around the sheep. He did so, but the loneliness continued, until one day he heard a woman screaming off in the distance. Tracking down its source, he found a beautiful maiden who had been chased up a tree by a pack of wolves. After the shepherd and his dog chased away the wolves, the maiden asked if there were anything she could do to repay him. "Actually there is," he replied. "Can you keep this dog distracted for about ten minutes?"

A similar joke goes: a tired traveler is crossing a vast desert on his camel, and thinks to himself, "I haven't had sex for days... I'll make do with this camel." However, the camel won't stay still to allow him to have sex with it. Suddenly, three beautiful women appear out of nowhere. "You look lost," one says. "Can I help you?" Yes, the traveler says. "Could you please help me hold down the camel?"

There are actually plenty of jokes that follow this basic pattern. A man wants to have sex with an animal due to being horny in an isolated place with no women, but something is preventing him to do so. A woman (or more) enters the setting, usually willing to do anything the man asks of her. The punch line consists of the man asking her to take care of whatever prevents him to have sex with the animal rather than having sex with him herself.

A gentleman stops by a biker bar and notices a large jar full of twenty dollar bills sitting on a high shelf. He asks the bartender about it, and the bartender tells him that anyone who likes can put a twenty in the jar and then attempt to win the pot by completing three tasks: defeating the toughest biker in the bar in a fistfight, performing some amateur dentistry on the bartender's vicious dog which has a sore tooth, and sexually satisfying the bartender's hideously ugly nymphomaniac wife. The man drops a twenty in the jar, walks over to the biker and knocks him out with one punch. He strides confidently into the back room, where the bartender hears his dog give out the most pitiful howl he's ever heard. The man returns and asks the bartender, "Okay, now where's that ugly lady with the sore tooth?"

There's a variation of that in Finland: A Finn, a Swede and a Norwegian were visiting Greenland, and decided to have a wager of toughness: they had to drink a keg of vodka, kill a polar bear barehanded and make love to (or rape) an Eskimo woman. The Swede and the Norwegian failed in humiliating ways, but the Finn drank down the entire keg and left off to find a polar bear. Hours later he comes back covered in tears and scratches and asks: "Nhow wheresh that Eshkhimo I wash shupposhed to kill?"

The same joke is told with a Texan who went to Alaska, and was given the same challenge.

There's also a variation in Brazil: Mussum of OsTrapalhões tried to join a gang and was told that, in order to join, he had to complete three tasks: drinking a whole bottle of undiluted cachaça at once, cut off the tail of a lion caged near the bar where he and the gang were having the challenge, and kissing the ugly bartender ten times. He could do the tasks in any order he chose and started with the drinking challenge. Mussum then left the bar to search for the lion. Upon returned, he mentioned he had just finished kissing the lion and would now cut the woman's tail.

An American anthropologist has been studying a tribe in Africa by living with them for a year. One day, the chief called him into the chief's hut. The chief sighed. "Well, my friend, it seems that we must ask you to leave." The anthropologist was surprised by this; he thought he had gained the tribe's trust. "Why, what's the matter?" he stammered. "It seems that a woman in our tribe has given birth to a baby... a white baby," said the chief. The anthropologist began to laugh. "Oh, is that all? No, that's just a classic case of albinism. It's caused by inheriting recessive pigment genes and..." The chief didn't look convinced, so he pointed at a nearby flock of sheep. "See those sheep? All of them are white except for that one. It's like that!" The chief was silent for a moment and said, "Listen, you don't talk about the sheep, and I won't talk about the baby."

A man goes to a bawdy house and asks the proprietor what "services" he can get for five dollars. "Five dollars?!" says the proprietor. "That's all I have," says the customer. "Very well," says the proprietor, "follow me." He takes the man to a small room containing nothing but a chicken. "What am I supposed to do with that?" asks the man. "Hey, you came here for sex," says the proprietor, "and you get what you pay for." He leaves, and the man, disgusted but desperate, has sex with the chicken. The next week, he comes back and asks what he can get for ten dollars. "Follow me," says the proprietor. He takes the customer to a room where a number of men are watching a peep show. The customer looks through a peephole and sees a man having sex with a sheep. He joins his fellow customers in derisive laughter. Nudging the man beside him, he says, "Boy, what a pathetic sicko that guy is, huh?" "That's nothing," says the other. "Last week there was a guy in there screwing a chicken."

A farmer, trying to improve his mind, takes up reading in his spare time. Every time he comes across an unfamiliar word, he jots it down so he can ask the minister, who's the most educated person in the village. One day he sees the minister walking by, waves him over, and hands him the list. "Reverend," he says, "can you tell me what these words mean?" The minister patiently defines them one by one, then blushes and hesitates as he comes to the last word. "Come on, Reverend," says the farmer. "Don't be bashful. What does 'bestiality' mean?" "Er...well," says the minister, "it refers to the forbidden and disgusting act of intimate relations with beasts, such as sheep, goats, and chickens." "Ewww," says the farmer. "Chickens?"

During the Bush Administration, First Lady Laura Bush told on television a joke about George milking a horse.

An American researcher comes to England to study farming. On his travels he hears about the practice of sheep fornication. He goes around Yorkshire asking farmers "Do you have intercourse with sheep?" As you can expect, the farmers are insulted, demanding he leave and slamming the door in his face. Just as he is about to give up, one man he asks looks around and answers "yes, and I'll answer your questions so long as you can promise you won't reveal anything about me". So the researcher asks "well...how do you do it?" The farmer replies "you put the back legs in your boots and the front legs on a wall and go from there." From there, the researcher goes to Wales, where he asks the same question. The first farmer he meets boldly responds "yes!". Again, the researcher asks how, and the Welshman responds "You put the back legs in your boots and the front legs over your shoulders and go from there". The researcher says "That's interesting, because in Yorkshire a man said back legs in boots and front over a wall". "What?!" replies the Welshman, "No kissing?!"

A farmer went to a psychiatrist, complaining that he was being sexually aroused by his horse. "I see", said the psychiatrist, "Is the horse a stallion or mare?" "Mare, of course!" answered the farmer angrily; "Do you take me for some kind of pervert?"

A tourist is visiting New Zealand. While driving in the countryside, he spots a farmer with his sheep. The tourist asks, "Are you shearing that sheep?" The farmer replies, "No, get your own. I'm not sharing her with anyone!"

Two New Zealand pilots are flying a flock of sheep. Suddenly, the plane starts going down because of engine trouble. The first pilot says "We gotta jump out, get your parachute!" "But what about the sheep?" asks the second. "Fuck the sheep!" shouts the first. The second responds: "You think we have the time?"

A man arrives in a Gold Rush boom town, and asks in the saloon what they do for entertainment, since there are no women in the town. He's told there's a flock of sheep, and everyone has sex with them. The new arrival is horrified by this, but as the days go on he gets more and more desperate. Finally he decides that if he's going to do it, he's going to do it right, so he chooses a sheep, dresses it up, and takes it to the saloon for a drink. When he arrives, everything goes silent, and all the patrons stare at him in shock. Embarrassed he stammers "I was told everyone here did it!" "Yeah," comes the reply, "but we don't pick up the sheriff's girl!"

In this skit, a man is trying to get into the gates of heaven. He was a philanthropist and devout Christian, and he isn't sure why he's being denied entry.

St Peter: Remember, God sees all. Man: Then you know about the- St Peter: Yep. Man: And the- St Peter: Yep. Man: And that one time... St Peter: Heh, we got that one on tape! Man: But... but she was eighteen! St Peter: Still a goat. [beat]

The condom was invented in the early 8th century by Welsh shepherds, who prevented pregnancy by using the lower intestine of a sheep. It was later improved upon by using the lower intestine without the rest of the sheep.

A professor at the University of Tennessee was giving a lecture on the supernatural. To get a feel for his audience, he asks, "How many people here believe in ghosts?" About 90 students raise their hands. "Well, that's a good start. Out of those of you who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you've seen a ghost?" About 40 students raise their hands. "That's really good. I'm really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?" About 15 students raise their hands. "Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?" 3 students raise their hands. "That's fantastic. Now let me ask you one question further... Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?" Way in the back, Bubba raises his hand. The professor takes off his glasses, and says, "Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture no one has ever claimed to have made love to a ghost. You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience." The big South Carolina redneck student replied with a nod and a grin, and began to make his way up to the podium. When he reached the front of the room, the professor asks, "So, Bubba, tell us what it's like to have sex with a ghost?" Bubba replied, "Shiiiiit! From way back thar I thought you said, goats."

Jim Norton has a bit about bestiality, in which he says he's unsure of how to feel about it, and that opinion is due to depending on the size of the animal. A large animal, such as a horse or a cow, you're not going to hurt it, it'd probably never even notice. But a small animal, like a chicken or a small dog, you're a sick fuck who gets off on hurting things smaller than yourself because you never made a woman go "ow".

An elderly woman had a fantasy about marrying a man who'd never been with a woman before. She applied to a rather discreet matchmaking service which gave her the name of an Australian gentleman. They got in touch, hit it off and soon were married. On their wedding night, she walked into the bedroom only to discover that all of the furniture had been moved to the side of the room. When she asked why her new husband replied "Well, I've never done it with a woman before, but if it's anything like kangaroos then we're gonna need all the space we can get."

One day a hunter took his trusty Winchester to the mountains to hunt for bear. He hid behind a rock that overlooked a beautiful valley and waited. Soon a bear appeared by the stream which ran through the valley. The hunter aimed and fired. When the smoke cleared he couldn't see the bear. Then there was a tap, tap, tap on his shoulder. The man turned around and there was the bear, standing 7 feet high, towering over him. The bear said, "you tried to shoot me didn't you?" To which the Hunter replied, "Yes, I'm afraid I did." "Well," said the Bear, "in that case you will have to give me a blow job." Having no choice in the matter, the Hunter did as he was told. That night the Hunter was really angry and vowed to get revenge. So the next day he went to the same spot, only this time he brought a huge elephant gun. Once again the bear appeared and the hunter fired. After the smoke cleared the hunter couldn't see no carcass. Tap, tap, tap. "You tried to shoot me didn't you?" "Why, yes, I'm afraid I did." "Well take your pants down and bend over. I'm going to have to screw you up the ass." Having no choice the Hunter did what he was told. That night the Hunter was really, really angry and resolved that he would get the Bear no matter what. This time he brought an M60. He went to the same spot and waited until the bear appeared by the stream. He fired off fifty rounds. When the smoke cleared, he couldn't see the bear. Tap, tap, tap. "You tried to shoot me didn't you?" The Hunter gulped. "Yes, I'm afraid I did." The Bear thought for a moment then said, "You don't come here for the hunting, do you?"

This can be found in some variations of the "you have two cows" economic satire for whatever place the author wants to insult: You have two cows. That one on the left is kinda cute...

There are a number of variants to a joke where a man pretends he can talk to animals or can make them talk. The final line is a warning by the animals' owner that the sheep is a big liar.

What do you call the driver of a truck carrying sheep to <<place>>? A pimp.

Literature

In Dragon Bones, one of the protagonists wants to emphasize how people would think about the high king if they knew he had a noblewoman tortured. He says they would maybe not morally object to it, but be disgusted, as if the king had had an affair with one of his hunting dogs.

The first book of the Aubrey-Maturin series has a mention of a sailor who gets caught buggering a goat, meaning he will be hanged, and the poor goat slaughtered. When Jack doesn't want to deal with the situation and its inevitable impact on the rest of the crew, Stephen suggests he just put them ashore: "separate shores, if you feel strongly about the moral issue."

It gets better, when Jack offers Stephen some milk in his coffee: "Goat's milk?" "Why, yes, I suppose so." "Perhaps without milk, then..."

In The Journeyer, by Gary Jennings, a historical novel about the life and travels of Marco Polo, the slave Nostril first makes his appearance being dragged behind a panicked mare which he had been assigned to groom and to which he had been chained. Nostril's proclivities get more creative as the novel progresses.

Played rather seriously in Balzac's novella A Passion in the Desert where a man's relationship with a leopard he domesticates is presented in romantic terms.

He and his Companion are in love with each other, but he only ever mounts her in the usual equine sense. The heralds probably would have had something to say, otherwise...Luckily Companions are the divinely reincarnated souls of dead (human) Heralds, which helps a little.

To be even more precise, he and his Companion are Life Bonded, which means they are fated to be paired together and is something they has NO control over. This normally means romantically, which certainly raises implications. However, while they are life bonded, it is never acted on sexually. It does mean that he will never have a normal romantic relationship with anyone else. Lackey started the Life Bond concept as the ultimate romantic ideal, but gradually moved it back as her work progressed to indicate that it could have problems. This pairing was one prime example of the problems that could result.

From The Xenophobe's Guide to the Welsh, a joke apparently told by the Welsh themselves:

"Have you heard? Old Jones the farmer has been found interfering with a sheep!" "Good heavens! Ewe or ram?" "Ewe...there's nothing funny about Jones."

In a variant, the response to the first line is "Ewwww...." and the answer to that is "Of course... there's [&c]."

In "Somebody Else's Magic", one of Marion Zimmer Bradley's Lythande stories, through the story Lythande constantly hears and sometimes contemplates the insult "You molester of virgin goats!" In the finale when she's confronted by a fellow member of her order who's seen evidence to let him possibly guess she's female (every member of their order has to keep one fact about themselves secret or lose their power), she starts yelling insults at him just to distract him, but when she uses the Virgin Goats one, the reaction on his face makes her immediately realize that that's his secret.

Joan Hess's Maggody mysteries contain joking references to this, many of them in regards to how Raz Buchanon dotes upon his pet pedigree sow, Marjorie. Internal monologue by Robin Buchanon, just before her death, indicates this character had trained the family dog to engage in some highly-questionable behavior.

Towards the end of Altered Carbon, the main character is fighting his way through an exclusive hangout for sexual deviants, and he finds a battered-looking dog and a man who did something unpleasant to it (and who incidentally has his pants down). The main character shoots the man in the head (nonlethal, given the futuristic setting, but quite an unpleasant experience). This is treated as a Pet the Dog moment.

The Emigrants features a serious version. Arvid the farmhand gets into the bad graces of the farmer's old mother. To dirty Arvid's name, she spreads a rumor that he does unknowable things to one of the cows. This becomes Arvid's motivation to emigrate to America.

Who wasts in meat, in clothes, in horse, he notes; Who loves Whores, who boyes, and who goats.

In A Song of Ice and Fire, Arya/Jeyne is forcibly married to Ax-Crazy Ramsay Bolton, and while the abuses she suffers are never specified, when she is rescued she says that she'll "do whatever he wants, with him or the dog" before breaking down. There's also hints that Bolton has an unusual attachment to his hunting dogs, who are all female. Played for Drama to the extreme (as she can be heard crying throughout the entire castle, constantly). In a more humorous take, while the subtext is clear, the ribald song "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" has subtext implying it's a bear of a man (i.e. large, lots of coarse hair) who wins said maiden by being good at oral sex, but the text just has him as a plain, if talking, bear. And of course, there's the tale Tormund Giantsbane, Husband to Bears tells of that time he was really drunk...

Varamyr Sixskins is a skin changer and controls/can enter the mind of three wolves. He has been known to enter the female wolf when its being mounted by the alpha wolf, and the male doing the mounting. Yek.

In Protector of the Small, lady-knight-in-training Kel and the King's Own have dealings with a herd of centaurs. Some of them went rogue and became bandits, and it's mentioned that the leader of the others is killing the "slaves" - horses - who were mounted by the renegades, believing that being mated with wicked centaurs ruins the horses. It doesn't help that earlier on, that same leader wanted to buy Kel, seeing her as sturdy and possibly able to bear sons of his kind.

Thus far, this hasn't actually appeared in Discworld, but it gets referenced quite a lot.

When Sergeant Colon decides to learn about farming in Feet of Clay, he gets a bit worried about a book called Animal Husbandry, because you hear stories...

In Maskerade the phrase "the people of Lancre got up with the chickens and went to bed with the cows" has a clarifying footnote that this means they went to bed at the same time as the cows.

Both the above phrases are analysed in Nanny Ogg's Cookbook, but sadly her thoughts on the matter are covered by notes from the publisher about how that entire section can't be used.

And there's Bestiality Carter, who like all the Carters has a Non-Indicative Name, and is very kind to animals. (The Carter family got their wires crossed; since you can name girls for virtues, well then boys...)

Feeney from Snuff mentions how his grandfather used to know all the local people's secrets, like how one man had been caught in flagrante delicto with a common barnyard fowl.

Subverted in Reaper Man, in which the prospect of Ludmilla (a werewolf) getting together with Lupine (a wereman) is treated as a perfectly-acceptable Interspecies Romance, despite him being a normal wolf and her, a normal human, most of the month. The fact that Lupine is fully sentient as a wereman and pretty smart even as a wolf makes it palatable.

And of course, there's the infamous "Hedgehog Song", whose full title is "The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered At All". Only a few stanzas are ever sung on the page (mostly by -who else?- Nanny Ogg), but numerous unofficial versions were created soon after it first appeared in Wyrd Sisters.

It doesn't happen in Codex Alera either, but the Marat and their totem animals are the subject to jokes like this among the Alerans. Kitai, one of the Marat who's bonded with Tavi, an Aleran, makes a joke similarly when she's explaining the bond—Tavi asks if his bond with her is like her father, Doroga's, bond with a gargant, named Walker, and she says when she last checked, Doroga wasn't mating with Walker...because Walker wouldn't stand for it.

In Harry Potter it's mentioned in passing that Dumbledore’s brother Aberforth got in trouble for a “minor scandal” with the Department of Magical Law Enforcement for “using inappropriate charms on a goat.” When an eight year old asked in one interview about what kind of charm it was, Rowling was a little shocked.

"I think that he was trying to make a goat that was easy to keep clean [laughter], curly horns. That’s a joke that works on a couple of levels. I really like Aberforth and his goats. But you know Aberforth having this strange fondness for goats if you've read book seven, came in really useful to Harry, later on, because a goat, a stag, you know. If you’re a stupid Death Eater, what’s the difference. So, that is my answer to YOU."

In Apuleius' The Golden Ass, the main character (who's been transformed into a donkey) worries about this trope when he's sold to a gang of Camp Gay crossdressing priests, but nothing bad comes from it. Later in the story, he has sex with a noble matron who actually paid for him, and later is used to inflict a painful death by sex to a vile, adulterous woman, but he's so disgusted by her that he runs away instead.

In Tinker, Chiyo, a Kitsune, is forced by Lord Tomtom to breed with and becomes pregnant by a warg; a sort of pony sized wolf.

Notably averted in Xanth. The realm's magic makes it possible for nearly any two creatures to produce viable offspring as long as they can make the parts fit - and if they don't fit, you can get an accommodation spell. Most beings tend to be attracted to their own species, but Interspecies Romance abounds and carries very little stigma. And then there are the love springs - if you drink from one, you immediately fall in love with the next creature of the opposite sex you lay eyes on. When, say, a man and his mare drink from the same spring, the result is a centaur.

Carl Hiaasen, "Native Tongue", the dolphin scene. (And that's only a blatant example, a list of the more subtle insinuations in all his crime novels would get too long...)

In Philip Jose Farmer's Lord Tyger, when the Wild Child protagonist Ras Tyger note actually raised by a couple of midgets in ape-suits in order to create a kind of real-life Tarzan reaches adolescence he trains a small monkey to "play" with him. The few people who learn about this react pretty much as you'd expect, but he neither understands nor cares.

In the book Guns, Germs, and Steel, the author recalls a situation where a doctor was stumped as to the illness of his patient. Finally he asked if symptoms had appeared after a sexual experience. The man stammered a bit, but in the end admitted he'd had sex with a sheep while abroad. Unfortunately, the man spoke little English, so all questions and answers had to throughhis wife...

In Bored of the Rings, boggies are described as having a "usual fondness for fuzzy animals." Spam Gangree has received a suspended sentence for having performed "an unnatural act with an underage female dragon of the opposite sex," and Frito's mother and Dildo's sister is said to have married a "hafling, i.e. part boggie, part opossum" from "the wrong side of the Gallowine."

The Long Earth has an, uhm, inversion? The "Beagles" are a canine-like intelligent species from a parallel Earth. When cultural exchange along the Earths lets them discover Terran dogs, they use them as sex toys. (It's an alien culture, so don't bitch.)

Mirror, Mirror: The cook laconicly states she had sex with a squid and even shows the suck marks. (It's possible that the squid wanted her for dinner and she merely wanted to annoy the priest, though.)

In Spell Singer as it takes place in a world where humans and anthropomorphic animals live as equals, they see no issue with inter-species relationships. While Jon-Tom (Who is from our world) is very uncomfortable with this. Though Flores (Who is also from our world) not only does she have no culture shock, but she is mentioned to have hooked up with an anthro Rabbit after her character was Put on a Bus.

Wet Goddess is a story of a (human) college student Zachary Zimmerman falling in love with a bottlenose dolphin Ruby.

Hal Yarrow, protagonist of The Lovers, is accused of this when his beloved Jeannette is revealed to be a lalitha, closer to an insect than a human. His accuser MacNeff is promptly accused of planning this, as Hal only found out when he was accused but MacNeff knew it and apparently wanted her alive...

Averted in Smokescreen by Robert Sabbag where the protagonist is bemused to get a detailed explanation of the need for bestiality while in Columbia. Thanks to the Madonna–Whore Complex, sex is only available from married women, or prostitutes whom Hormone Addled Teenagers can't afford. So animals are an accepted substitute (though donkeys are regarded as cleaner than chickens).

Subverted later in the episode, when he's revealing how he knows Queen Elizabeth. It really looks like he's going to reveal that he was her horse and she had sex with him, but then it turns out that he was the German stable lad, and she didn't sleep with him. Her relationship with the horse appears purely platonic.

In the premier episode of series one, this is averted and invoked with Edmund who is secretly (and unknowingly) nursing Henry Tudor back to health in his room, hoping for a reward. His mother comes in, and when Edmund implies that there is someone in his bed, the Queen asks if it is a sheep. He denies this. Later on, to keep her from checking the bed he makes bleating noises. Her response: "Oh, Edmund. It's the lying I find so hurtful."

In the first series finale Blackadder S 1 E 6 The Black Seal one of the evilest men in the land who turn up is a Depraved Dwarf named Jack Large whose notoriety precedes him as the unspeakably violent,bull-buggering, priest-killing Jack of no fixed abode. With bulls as his victims his reputation seems somewhat well-earned and brings a hundred surreal and better left unsaid images to the mind.

The in-universe bawdy song "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" can be taken this way, though the subtext is clear that it's a bear of man (i.e. large and hairy) who wins said maiden.

Tormund attempts to lighten the mood before battle by playing The Munchausen and regaling the others with the time he fucked a bear. In the novels, Tormund counts "Husband to Bears" among his many humorous titles.

Implied with Myranda; the reason she wasn't afraid of Ramsay the first time they met was that he couldn't do anything that the dogs didn't.

In the Torchwood episode "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", Captain John Hart expresses an attraction to poodles.

Gwen: Do you ever stop? John: What, five minutes to live and you want me to behave? Oh, that's gorgeous... Gwen: That's a poodle! John:(growling) S'nice!

In one episode of MashMulcahy keeps trying to describe The Yearling (a film that was going to be shown) 'about a tender relationship between a boy and a young deer', and each time, the character (Radar, Potter, etc.) would respond with a "Oh yeah, like my (relative), except it was with a (mule, horse)" with an implication that their relative had a more intimate fondness with their chosen animal.

Father Ted: "No, No, Dougal, we must keep away from the idea that we're in love with the horse. It's more that we're friends with the horse."

On The League of Gentlemen the Tattsyrup family are said to have a bit of pig in their ancestry (which turns up in their noses), and Hilary Briss is married to a cow. The extent of their relationship is unclear.

In Phoenix Nights, there is strong innuendo that Keith Lard (a fire safety officer from Bolton) is into bestiality. He is led away by police, only to be released when an Alsatian fails to testify. In real life, Channel 4 had to apologize to Keith Laird (a fire safety officer from Bolton) who claimed that his reputation was damaged by this show.

Due to Moral Guardian standards and limited dialogue potential, this is one of the few sex crimes that has never been featured on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. It has, however, been referenced in dialogue between sex-crimes investigators. "His father caught him alone with his new bride, Missy. Missy's a German shepherd."

Manswers has taken this trope to its extreme, by investigating which animal's genitalia bear the closest resemblance to those of a human woman. Sheep were, of course, among the candidates researched. (Their conclusion? If you're kinky enough to care, it's the dugong. At least, it could explain the Mermaid Problem.)

In the first season of The Mighty Boosh many "intimate liaisons" with the zoo animals were implied. Howard warns Vince in one episode, not to get too close to any of the animals in the zoo bringing up the example of a (literal) fox in a nearby cage. which apparently was a "Mistake" according to Howard. Apparently in the Mighty Boosh world bestiality is a scandal more like a professor sleeping with a graduate student than how it's viewed in real life...

This is probably because animals in the Boosh-verse are sapient. Most of them can talk, and are of comparable intelligence to the human characters. Not only are they capable of consenting to sex with humans, more than often they are the ones who instigate it (who can forget the scene where Vince gets raped by that panda?).

In Sons of Anarchy after Tig spills his bike during a charity run and requires medical attention he's picked-up at the hospital by bounty-hunters over an outstanding warrant in Oregon. The charge? ...indecent exposure in a livestock transport.

Owen, on The Vicar of Dibley, is initially implied to do this. When Radio Dibley ran a Moral Maze style programme on the topic "Is Sex With Poodles Always Wrong?", he was the one speaking in favour. By the end of the series, they'd done away with all pretense and flatout stated he was regularly having sex with animals, calling a sheep his girlfriend in one episode. Jim was also stated to be at least attracted to sheep. Luckily, by that point Refuge in Audacity had become a staple for pretty much every character who wasn't Geraldine or David.

Dr Cox: Don'cha see, Barbie, I would rather listen to you go on and on about the joys of dolphin sex. Elliot: Dolphin trainer sex. My boyfriend is a dolphin trainer. Dr. Cox: Here that's a shame, because the whole dolphin thing used to make you so interesting.

Another reference with that dolphin trainer:

Sean: Why are things so much easier with dolphins? Elliot: Probably because you're not trying to date the dolphin. Sean: Oh, God, no. Not after that big talk they gave us.

And again with JD when there's a rumor about JD being into bestiality because he practiced kissing on Rowdy (JD and Turk's dead stuffed dog).

In Life On Mars, Chris and Ray make sheep noises at a prisoner ("Dicky Fingers") they're picking up for transport. When Sam asks why, Chris refers to this trope. Later, as they're driving, Chris points out a lamb; Dicky responds, "What d'you think I am, a nonce?" ("Nonce" being UK slang for child molester.)

Also, there was that thing with that camel that one time in the military... The camel, apparently, had no complaints.

In another episode, a client has an affair with Wendy... his cow. Which at one point leads Schmidt to say, "But you screw one cow..."

Ally McBeal: Richard uses this potential scenario to argue before the judge that the Supreme Court's ruling that the President - and by default a Congressman like his client - could be sued while in office was a bad ruling:

"Don't tell me I can't cripple a Congressman's ability to do his work! With today's media? It's not like they go out and check the facts! I could say something about you having sex with a goat - totally untrue, so what! All I gotta do is say it, Newsweek will print it and boom, your whole docket becomes spin control!

Jim Sweeney: (translating Josie's faux-Albanian) "I like to stroke the big ones... Some of those sheep play really hard-to-get... (catches Josie in an unfortunate gesture) ...I think that speaks for itself..."

In one game of Let's Make a Date Colin was given the character of a man who "gets turned on by danger" and Ryan was a "ravenous" boa contrictor. It was played erotically almost from the start.

Red Dwarf: Lister complains that he's personally broken four of the five holy commandments he supposedly passed down to the Cat people; "I'd've broken the fifth, but there's no sheep on board."

Mentioned in The Thick of It when Malcolm gives Olly a bollocking for questioning one of his more unscrupulous schemes: "Don't start with the moral objections, you fuckin' Blue Peter badge-wearing ponce! Go and make a contribution to fuckin' Amnesty International! Go and buy a goat that a whole village can fuck!"

Later on, Phil compares Olly to "the man who fucked the monkey that gave us AIDS", in the sense that he has created a runaway problem and is now moaning about its scale.

Corky from Murphy Brown was first runner up at the Miss America contest, but got the crown when the winner was forced to resign. Why?

Corky: She told everyone she loved animals, but who would have thought to take her literally?

The Daily Show started its "Thank You South Carolina" segment after a man from there received press attention for having sex with a horse after having already pled guilty to having had sex with the same horse. And they happened to discover this on the heels of the Sanford scandal.

Gonzo of The Muppet Show has an on-again, off-again relationship with both anthropomorphic Muppet hen as well as real cows and hens.

Referenced in Lexx: "It's all here. You have babes, boys, beasts, thinner, fatter, hunks, chunks, monks, twins dipped in batter, the wiggle, the jiggle, the oo-la-la, people to spank you, and sheep to go baa" - Schlemmi, Luvliner

One episode of QI has Stephen Fry ask, "What is the difference between a Carlisle Surprise, a Reverse Canterbury Delight, and a sheep tied to a lamppost in Cardiff?" Welsh comedian Rob Brydon attacks Stephen for "institutionalized racism that is accepted when it's addressed at the Welsh," answers the last bit by saying you call a sheep tied to a lamppost in Cardiff "a leisure centre," then castigates the other panelists and the audience for laughing.note The answer, by the way, is that Carlisle Surprise and Reverse Canterbury Delight are bellringing methods.

There's also a bit in another episode where Stephen Fry says the "You can get a lot from goats. You can get cheese, you can get wool you can get sex-"

And let's not forget Stephen's reaction to the pictures illustrating the question "How can a horse catch an eel?"; "That's a rather attractive horse." (Both Rich Hall and Sean Locke immediately retort that they'd rather have the eel.) Stephen's affections for the horse lasted throughout the episode.

During a question about Korean proverbs, Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan compared one of the idioms to the Canadian expression "shagging the dog" (a vulgar expression meaning "doing nothing" or "passing the time any which way while bored"). Made even funnier by the ensuing discussion in which nobody actually bothered to clarify what "shagging" means in British English.

Stephen: NOT IN THIS COUNTRY, MADAM!! In this country when we shag a dog we know what we're doing, and it's pretty hard work, let me tell you.

A characteristically bizarre subversion on House: a teenage boy came to the clinic asking for drugs to kill his sex drive, claiming it was because he was very attracted to cows and didn't know how much longer he could hold out. Turned out it was actually his hot stepmother he was attracted to. And he didn't want to admit that. So he pretended he was into cows. Okay.

Also, one time, House was talking with Thirteen and another female doctor in his office, while on his computer. The female doctor looks at the computer screen (which cannot be seen) and gets a noticeably squicked out expression. House asks her, "do you have a problem with the naked female form?" Thirteen then says "I just don't think she's used to seeing it spooning with the naked dolphin form." This being House, it was most likely a ploy to get them to go away faster. Probably.

In another episode, a clinic patient has a skin condition normally found in horses and related quadrupeds. When she says she's an actress, House jumps to certain conclusions about her "art." In fact, she is playing the Virgin Mary in a live-action Christmas pageant, in which she rides a donkey.

In Trailer Park Boys, Ricky randomly tries to make a joke about this to Julian, completely unrelated to what they were doing at the time.

A census worker interviewing an addled Christopher Walken, who reveals that his wife is a bobcat.

A spoof of daytime talk shows that send unruly teens to boot camps, in which Christina Ricci plays a girl whose mother catches her playing with the family dog, and is afraid that she will give birth to "biracial dog babies".

On one show, Woody Harrelson heads a trio of lonesome singing cowboys - one lyric being "And the horse starts to look good by the campfire..."

In one skit of Celebrity Jeopardy, for his answer/wager in Final Jeopardy, Sean Connery draws a picture of Alex Trebek having sex with a horse - of course, we only see the top half of the photo.

One skit combines this with the Mermaid Problem in a spoof of The Little Mermaid. After the sailor is saved from drowning, he meets the mermaid, and falls in love with her...until he realizes that not only is her anatomy different, but that she tends to go wild with all sorts of sea creatures. She also reveals that the only reason she exists was because her father, who was an ordinary human got drunk one night, broke into an aquarium, and had sex with a halibut. And he in turn reveals that he's had sex with "a LOT of stuff".

Mermaid: [singing] I love all creatures equally, wherever they reside. Sailor: That's lovely! Mermaid: [singing] I get it on with tuna, I've gone down on a shark! I've got films of me with a manatee- Sailor: [grossed out] Alright, alright! That's enough! That's enough! Mermaid: What's wrong? Sailor: You have sex with fish?! Mermaid: Fish, shrimp, turtles...I'll pretty much bend over for anything with fins.

On Boy Meets World there is a Flash Forward to a potential future in which the whole gang had broken up and in this future Eric became an insane hermit living in the woods who married a moose. Hopefully it was a platonic marriage...

Raj: I'm telling you dude, the only way to make you feel better about Penny going out with other guys, is for you to get back on the whores. Howard: ... "horse". Raj: What? Howard: The phrase is "get back on the horse"... not "whores". Raj: That's disgusting, dude!

One episode of Family Feud had the question "Name something a lazy man might teach his dog to turn on." One of the answers was "his girlfriend", presumably for shock value.

Mick 'The Bull' Daly: You can kill and eat animals - that's no problem, like. That's fine, you kill them and eat them. But once you start riding them, then society's like 'Oh no, you can't ride them.' But you can kill them and eat them, like. But if the animal had a choice, huh?

In the Sirens (US) episode "Rachel McAdams Topless", Hank, Johnny and Brian, having agreed to erase a patient's browser history before calling his family, snoop through said history and find a video of a woman and a horse performing an unspecified act. They spend the rest of the episode trying to get rid of the mental image.

Ziggy Sobotka buys a duck and brings it into the stevedores' bar with him. When one of his co-workers calls him sick because of this, Ziggy retorts he's hardly the first guy in South Baltimore to seek the affections of a farm animal.

Jay Landsman is at one point seen telling the final part of a raunchy joke about a hunter raped by a bear. Jay is funny by default, but there's the silent but appalled reaction to the joke of the woman among his audience. She withdraws, clearly thinking that Jay is an asshole.

Orange Is the New Black: While feeding Little Boo some peanut butter, Big Boo gets the idea to have the dog lick it off more...intimate areas offscreen. Either she had a moment of My God, What Have I Done?, or Little Boo was taken away from her. All she says about it is "It got weird."

In the Inside Amy Schumer skit "Stripper for Dogs", Amy and another stripper show up for a bachelor party that, it turns out, a guy is throwing for his dogs. While Amy entertains the revelers downstairs, the other one goes upstairs with the groom for his "last night as a free man." It doesn't end well.

Letterkenny has a running gag about two residents of the town, Boots and the Ginger, allegedly fucking an ostrich. This continues to devolve into discussions about how only the Ginger did it and how you need at least two people to fuck an ostrich — possibly three.

Music

GWAR's "Fuckin' an Animal" fits this in as strict a sense as possible. Their song "Sexecutioner" does so a little bit more subtly.

Bob Rivers' "Dirty Deeds (Done with Sheep)" (a parody of an AC/DC song). That is all.

"Weird Al" Yankovic. "Virus Alert". One of the dreaded features of the virus is that it will "make you physically attracted to sheep". Maybe not as bad as causing a major rift in time and space, but still...

The bickering couple in "Jerry Springer" have cheated on each other with (among others) her dog Woofie and his pet goat.

From the introduction to his song "In Old Mexico" on the album An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer: "His educational career began, interestingly enough, in agricultural school, where he majored in animal husbandry, until they... caught him at it one day..."

And the classic line from "I Got It From Agnes": "She then gave it to Daniel/Whose spaniel has it now"

From John Butler's "Hand of the Almighty"

- Now Ray was full aware/that some sheep were over there/and he knew them in the biblical sense!"

The many strange habits of Harald, in the Swedish song Haralds konstiga vanor, apparently include getting a little too friendly with sheep.

Related: One Welsh singer (a thirteen-year-old girl) had her album recalled so that they could alter the cover. Why? She was standing in a field with sheep. Nobody wanted the obvious jokes made.

The infamous Bawdy Song, "The Good Ship Venus" has a verse about the ship's dog, Rover. You can pretty much guess what the pirate narrators do to the hound in question.

The Ivor Biggun song "Halfway Up Virginia" details the sexual exploits of a stereotypical hillbilly. The singer gleefully admits to having sex with 49 sheep, a mule, a golden retriever, a skunk, a woodchuck, an unspecified number of polecats, an unspecified number of raccoons, a hound dog, a groundhog, an opossum and pretty much anything that moves doesn't run away fast enough. He then makes the following statement:

"And every last one is female, 'Cos there ain't nothing strange about me!"

Many of Wesley Willis' songs deal with bestiality ("Suck a Cheetah's Dick", "Drink a Camel's Cum"). A schizophrenic, Willis believed that demons were tormenting him, and that the songs would disgust the demons enough to leave him alone.

blink-182 has the song I Wanna Fuck A Dog In The Ass. On the Mark, Tom, and Travis Show, the banter between songs includes Tom claiming that he will get sexier as the show goes on due to the heat in the arena and the exertion of performing a concert. Mark speculates that Tom will aso get fatter and fatter, "Because dog semen is very high in calories." "Yeah, don't eat dog semen, kids; we hear it's the number one cause of bad breath."

In Data's "Don't Sing" video, we see a guy get a beej by a woman clad in a giant fur coat while driving, which leads to him crashing his car, all while being intercut between shots of many screwed-up things. At the very end, it's revealed that the woman was really a dog.

This is referenced as the fate of one of the Old India Hands mentioned in the Noël Coward song "I Wonder What Happened To Him":

He got chucked out of the club in Bombay,

for, apart from his mess bills exceeding his pay,

he took to... "pig-sticking"note usually refers to hunting wild boar with lances from horseback; a popular pastime among both Indian and British nobles and officers... in quite the wrong way.

I wonder what happened to him?

Myths and Religion

In the law books of The Bible, especially the Book of Exodus, anyone (male or female) who has sex with an animal is to be executed. The animal is also considered Defiled Forever, and must be slaughtered. The Old Testament forbids shepherds from going out alone (making them leave in pairs) specifically to prevent this "abomination," and Exodus has a bit about those who lie down with beasts. In the apocrypha of the Torah on which the story of Noah was based, meanwhile, bestiality was apparently so commonplace in antediluvian Earth that Noah's attempt to send out a raven to check whether the flood was over got derailed when the raven accused him of trying to steal its mate in its absence (before flying off and having sex with an eagle).

In mainstream Judeo-Christian Tradition, Beastiality is considered a serious sin punishable by eternal damnation. This goes back to Exodus 22:19, which states "Whoever lies [has sex] with an animal shall surely be put to death." Deuteronomy and Leviticus repeated this rule.

In Islam, Beastiality is also a serious sin. There is a Hadith by Ibn ‘Abbaas in which the Prophet Muhammad tells his followers "If you find that someone has had intercourse with an animal, kill him and kill the animal too."

It's thought that Witches in their Sabbath had sex with demons in the form of animals, including Satan as a black goat.

Norse Mythology: Loki Really Gets Around. He is the mother (yes, mother) of Odin's eight-legged horse Sleipnir. (That was his way of distracting the workhorse of the Jötun who built Asgard, to cheat him out of his payment.)

Classical Mythology: The Minotaur was born when Poseidon punished King Minos by making his wife fall in love with the bull Minos had been supposed to sacrifice to the gods but hadn't.

Subverted with Chinese Mythology and popular folklore, where interspecies pairings are common and considered BENEFICIAL in terms of the resulting offspring, who is often physically perfect/beautiful, highly intelligent, a prodigy, or inherited magical abilities from parents. Many protagonists are actually ANIMAL SPIRITS and the stories revolve around their interspecies romance with mostly humans.

For example, Madam White Snake is the title and main character of her story, and the audience is meant to be sympathetic to her when she is betrayed by her human husband.

An entire origin myth of several ethnic groups living in the central-eastern region of China revolves around their dog ancestor Pan Hu, the Dog King. When a king requested help in defeating his rival, his pet dog kills and retrieves the head of said rival. The reward was his daughter's hand, and the king had no choice but to fulfill that promise. After taking her into the mountains, Pan Hu meditates to attain human form (in several stories, the princess interrupts the process and he is left with a dog's head). They produce many children between them, who become the ancestors of various tribes that live in that mountain and hold Pan Hu as their common forebear. These ethnic groups have travelled and brought their culture overseas to places like Canada, and hold many proud festivals celebrating and proclaiming their connection with Pan Hu the Dog King.

Though whether this is a full subversion is up for debate, as these animal spirits are noted to have attained sapience and human form via meditation, effectively surpassing their original 'base beast' form and placing them spiritually and intellectually on par with normal humans. However, the stories always remind people that they are in fact, still animals, and that their 'humanity' is still in some ways, a mimicry. They are however, not stigmatized for what they are or for pursuing relationships with humans, but are respected for their ability to reach this stage in enlightenment and the magical powers they attained while doing so.

Also subverted by Japanese Mythology and popular folklore (as well as popular culture, as Japanese porn is notorious for eroticizing women having sex with animals, especially those with tentacles, e.g. the infamous classic painting, The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife, where a woman has sex with an octopus) , as the national traditional religion Shinto is similarly animist, where literally everything has a spirit, which becomes sentient with age. This is best seen in the case of stories involving the Kitsune who are foxes who magically shapeshift between human and animal forms, where the females are almost always idealized as the perfect wives (though the love stories usually have bittersweet tragic ends, as is customary in Japanese traditional romances). In fact, the word Kit-su-ne literally means Come sleep with me.

However, its also played straight on occasion. Perhaps one of the most infamous examples is "The Eight Canine Heroes Of House Satomi", a series of paintings illustrating a Japanese folk tale of a dog who marries his owner's daughter after fulfilling a task, who proceeds to birth him eight prodigious sons... and kill herself in shame because of this. Said paintings depict said daughter being graphically ravaged by the dog.

Played straight with Korean Mythology and popular folklore, where the Korean version of the Kitsune, the female-only Gumiho is villified as almost always a maliciously man-eating monster.

Jackson somehow ends up defending bestiality in a Plumbing the Death Star episode about fictional doctors. Specifically, he casually mentions there's nothing wrong with a man having sex with a swan so long as the swan was originally a person. His co-hosts, Zammit and Duscher, are too stunned to respond with a complete sentence before resorting to just asking for some type of justification. Jackson reasons that as long as its consensual, its fine, but Zammit ends the discussion by asking the audience to applaud if they agree with Jackson. The silence is deafening... until two people applaud and cause the everyone around them to stare at them in disgust.

Jackson: Are you telling me if I mind jumped into a swan and then made sweet love to someone, that wouldn't be okay?

Zammit: *nods head* That's not okay.

Duscher: That's textbook not okay, that's like rule one!

Pro Wrestling

In October 1999, The Godfather tried to offer his hoes to Mideon before a match. Mideon stated "I don't do hoes, but do you have any farm animals?" Note that Mideon's former gimmick is that of Phineas I. Godwinn, a pig farmer.

During a match pitting Alex Shelley and Delirious against Roderick Strong and Jack Evans of Generation Next at Ring of Honor's Fifth Year Festival, CM Punk advised against spitting on people as Strong and Evans had, explaining it was the first step to creating diseases and sleeping with Chimpanzees.

On a 2010 episode of TNA iMPACT!, Ric Flair made one of his infamous rambling promos, wherein he claimed to have had sex with Zenyatta. A race horse.

Radio

In an episode of Just a Minute recorded in Cardiff, one of the panelists was challenged for "deviating from the subject" because he was talking about sheep. He quickly responded "But sheep aren't considered a deviation in Wales."

Opie And Anthony broadcast a clip of a German porno featuring a man... um... "skewering" a chicken. And it's obvious, from the changing tone of the chicken's squawking, when the penetration begins.

In the Corby episode of Mark Steel's in Town, he asks why their stereotype of rival town Kettering includes sex with sheep. He's quickly informed by the audience that's because it actually happened once.

Mark: Oh, that's what you don't want in your town, isn't it? That's the jokes for the next thousand years: They all do it, all the time.

Tabletop Games

Exalted features the Lunars, blessed of Luna and boon companions to the Solars. They generally have beast-like traits (including a "totem animal" they can change into at will), and with this comes the ability to breed Beastmen. Thing is, to do it, one of the parties has to be bestial, and the other party has to be humanoid... and the Lunars can be either.

It is noted that many Lunars aren't necessarily depraved even despite this... but there are some straight examples. Raksi, a Lunar queen of a massive brood of half-ape offspring is, among other things, an infamous baby-eating cannibal sorceress.

The Gangrel clan sourcebook for Vampire: The Requiem has a historian claiming that the first Gangrel were made when barbarian kings had relations with animals, and were born of ancient sorcery playing on the twisted beings that emerged. Mind you, that may not be the truth (to put it mildly), but man, you can just see most of the clan walking out into sunlight if that turned out to be the truth, can't you?

For the Garou in the cWoD, at least occasional bestiality is practically a part of life; they can't breed true with each other (any offspring from such unions is usually deformed or otherwise 'defective' in some way as well as generally sterile) and need to mate with humans or wolves to have a shot at having actually viable Garou offspring, and there's at least anecdotal evidence that favoring one branch of the 'family' too much over the other actually is detrimental to a bloodline in the long run. (Replacing "wolves" with the relevant animal type, the same holds true for the other kinds of weres in the game as well.)

Of course, being shapeshifters, it's rather debateable whether screwing a wolf when you yourself are for all intents a wolf as well (albeit with human intelligence) should be considered bestiality. The Black Spiral Dancers on the other hand side, often don't care about their partner's shape. Or consent, for that matter...

The Dauphin in Shakespeare's Henry V is rather disconcertingly fond of his horse:

Dauphin: I once writ a sonnet in his praise and began thus: "Wonder of nature —" Constable: I have heard a sonnet begin so to one's mistress. Dauphin: Then did they imitate that which I composed to my courser, for my horse is my mistress.

The dialogue continues in this vein for quite a while.

In Rimers of Eldritch, Skelly Manor first appears onstage with local boys baaing at him. Nothing explicit is stated and nothing is ever proven. It's used more to demonstrate Skelly's isolation from the town and how rumors move through it.

Played for tragedy in Our Breath is as Light as a Hummingbird's Spine, since there's no way to have sex with a bird. However, the main character does glue feathers and a beak onto a sex toy. (Decide for yourself whether that's Squick, unintentionally funny, or just as pathetic as it's supposed to be.)

The play Equus by Peter Schaffer concerns a young stablehand's issues with being virtually incapable to distinguish between affection for horses and sexual attraction, thanks to a screwed-up childhood. It being a drama piece, it's also pretty disturbing.

In Rock of Ages, Dennis Du Pree uses this trope to convince Stacee Jaxx to play at his bar.

In MID-LIFE! the Crisis Musical, the song "He Got What He Deserves", one of the divorcées notes an ex's barnyard encounter after the split with great relish and multiple sheep puns.

Toys

Some adult novelty stores carry inflatable sheep with a belt to be worn from the waist. "Great for bachelor parties!"

Video Games

Professor Hojo of Final Fantasy VII is introduced — as in, his very first scene — discussing his plans to breed Aerith with another research experiment in an attempt to create a life form with a long lifespan. That experiment turns out to be Red XIII. Thankfully, when Hojo arranges for them to be together, Red himself has no desire to go through with it and attacks Hojo once freed.

In Rome: Total War, if your general is constantly out on campaign, his retinue may eventually include a Pet Sheep.

"Being away from home and loved ones... can be a lonely life."

In No One Lives Forever, when advancing through the corridors of the Big Bad's base, you hear a man whispering love words to someone, something like: "Now we are all alone..." Then you open a door and find that man alone with a goat. The man says: "Oh, hi...um, how did this goat got in here?" You have the option of shooting them both.

Also, you find references to H.A.R.M. goons and their, ahem, “recreation” with sheep throughout the game.

When joining the Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout 4, during a medical examination you are questioned as to whether you've ever had sexual relations with a "non-human species". When asked if that happens often, the doctor replies "You'd be surprised how many Wastelanders answer yes to that question."

In Wasteland 2 when entering Happy Valley for the first time you meet a merchant named Fred Darvis. When asked about life in Red Skorpion Militia territory, he says that the Skorpions stole, burnt, and raped everything in the valley and that his pet goat didn't walk right for a week.

In Arcanum, you can visit a brothel. Turn down the offer for a girl a few times, you get two. Turn that one down, you get... a sheep.

In Overlord, at one point you and your minions bust into the headquarters of a succubus-worshiping sex cult. Bust down one of the locked doors in the headquarters, and you'll find several cultists and a sheep.

In Black & White, at one point you're asked to get specific supplies to help a troupe of very poor singers finish building their boat (specifically, wood and food). However, you can also drop off various other things, including a sheep. This elicits the response "Ah, a sheep! Sheep have many uses... and the voyage is long...".

Ironically, if you drop off a woman, the response is much less enthusiasticnote They were likely trying to keep in theme with the time period and its superstitions, which included the idea that having a woman on board a ship being bad luck.

In the video game of Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, there's a part where clicking on something brings up "goat porn", and then Eric Idle starts yelling about, "Hey, everyone, look here right now! This guy likes goats!"

Dragon Age: Origins has a brothel, the Pearl, where you can sleep with anything, anything. When the Madam is told to "Surprise Me", one of the random options has you waking up in a daze with a goat that looks at you funny.

In both the preceding and Dragon Age II, a "Surprise Me" may end with two nugs (miniature aardvarks with creepy hands) that "avoid eye contact, trying to look busy".

Gothic has the annoying Mud, who follows you everywhere while telling annoying stories about himself. Among other things, he mentions that he was thrown in the prison colony for "liking animals too much".

One of the ways in which you can taunt the warrior Kharim is suggesting that his father was having "fun" with sheep. Kharim's reply is an embarrassed "well, there were rumors..."

One of the random conversations that NPCs can have in The Darkness is one NPC asking if he gave a moose a million dollars to have sex with him, would it work?

Guy 1: If I gave a moose a million dollars would it have sex with me? Guy 2: Well it would have to some sort of genetically engineered smart moose for it to work. Guy 1: Where could I find such a moose? Guy 2: Sweden is open about sexuality so they probably allow bestiality as well. Guy 1: Heh-heh...naughty Swedish mooses...

In an actual canon example; the night elves' goddess, Elune, who by all official accounts looks like a big glowing night elf woman, had an affair with the demigod Malorne, whose only known form was that of a giant (read, two hundred feet tall) stag. This resulted in the birth of Cenarius, who looked like a centaur with a night elf upper body and a stag lower body. Being that these are deities, this is justified; just look at the mythology examples above.

Red Dead Redemption is fond of this: a stranger mission (entitled "Who Are You To Judge?") involves returning a horse to its very affectionate owner, who has named the horse 'Lucy' and refers to her as his "girl". The horse thief who accompanies you on said mission comments that her "daddy kept goats". And lastly there's an advertisement in the newspaper for a publication called Sexing Livestock Quarterly. It sure is lonely out west...

Lets insert another Rockstar game here: Grand Theft Auto has this too. Vice City, from the set of a porn flick: "Careful! The snake was more expensive than you!" Liberty City: You have to pick up from the street some porn mags involving donkeys.

In Tony Hawk's Underground, a police officer in Tampa, Florida pulls over your van for a busted tail light, expired license plate, and a "Cops push Mongo" bumper sticker, and your van gets impounded. While roaming the city later, you can find the same officer hiding behind a strip club standing behind a goat...

Same game, same category, there's a rumor apparently backed by Hint of God that N Harmonia is the human son of a Pokemon. Said character is known to have a human father, therefore... Almost certainly subverted in Black & White 2 when N mentions that he was raised by Pokemon as a young child and strongly implies that Ghetsis kidnapped him.

Made even weirder by the fact that the #1 suspect for his Pokemon parent, Zoroark, does not belong to the Human-like egg group (despite being bipedal).

Distinctly subverted in the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl installments, where one of the mythology/fairy tale books in the Canalave Library says that man and 'mon were once equal partners, with no difference between them. The English translation says they "ate at one table"; the Japanese version outright says they intermarried.

In Pokémon Colosseum, an NPC in Agate Village outright tells you that her boyfriend is a Mightyena. It doesn't help that she happens to be an old woman and that in the sequel XD you can find her with a Poochyena that she describes as her child, which would not be disconcerting unless you take her previous appearance in Colosseum in context.

One little girl at the Skiddo farm gives you the TM for Attract, and says she feels like the Skiddo used it on her.

In Sun and Moon, you can encounter two female Golfers outright harassing a Machamp and fawning over its muscles at a hotel. It turns out to just be a guy in costume, but they didn't know that.

Team Fortress 2: The Soldier, at least, believes the opposing team's Sniper to have a kangaroo wife, as he offers to send "her" condolences as one of his domination quotes.

Averted with the titular Octodad and his wife Scarlet: no one bats an eye that an octopus is married to a human, because they don't seem to realize Octodad is an octopus. And the only two that did were a psycho that thought marine life was invading the surface and Octodad's daughter. Even Scarlet didn't know until the end of the sequel. Considering she had thought something much worse was straining their relationship, she's pretty cool with the reveal. (Their son did question where he and his sister came from though.) At least a few Lets Plays ran with this trope though:

Markiplier: "She's like [in a horrified voice] 'I had sex with an octopus!'"

In Rogue Legacy, Bestiality is an upgrade that lets you unlock the Dragon class. Evidently the family are just that desperate.

Played with in HuniePop. It features a character called Momo, a Half-Human Hybrid cat girl instead of an actual animal, who you unlock by dropping a bag of fish outside. Nevertheless, after you have sex with her, you promptly unlock the achievement 'Bestiality...'

One of the services you can reach on the phone in Jazzpunk is the Barnyard Boudoir. It is implied that it's just a scam where they first charge exorbitant amounts money for their "Steers and Studs package" on their marks' credit cards then exploit this trope to discourage their marks from getting chargebacks.

With the Conclave DLC for Crusader Kings II, if you're a lunatic, you can get an event to appoint your horse as your chancellor, and the game will generate a horse character to fill the position, but the horse is infertile because of a special trait (you can still seduce it though). But through an exploit, you can generate horse characters without the special trait. Now you can marry and have children with them. One particular AAR involved one player's journey to restore the Roman Empire as a horse. Players have also reported taking AI horses prisoner after sacking a castle and forcing them into concubinage.

In addition, with the Way Of Life DLC, female (or gay male) lunatics who have taken the Seduction focus may get an event where they can be seduced by a centaur in their castle's stables, with a chance of pregnancy for female characters (when the child is born, he/she will have no father listed by the game, not even an unacknowledged one). But since your character is insane, we have no idea what they actually had sex with.

In the Perpetual Testing Initiative of Portal 2, Aperture Rituals needs a willing volunteer of astronauts, war heroes, and Olympians to "make love to a giant bird" in order to fulfill a prophecy and stall the ends of days.

Web Animation

Perhaps it's not quite the same, considering Pinkie Pie is a pony, but a few throwaway lines in the PONY.MOV series are certainly evocative of this trope.

Joked about in an early Sinfest where Slick is answering sex-related letters from the readers. One letter, rife with spelling errors, asks if its normal that he gets a chubby watching his mother milk the farm cow. Slick tells him that he is what professionals call an "inbred freak", to make sure the cow is of legal age, and that "moo means moo".

Homestuck has Equius, who has a Porn Stash of obscene portraits of horses musclebeasts. Nepeta also enjoys them... and then it's later implied that all of Alternia believes in this ideal and considers these portraits to be the highest form of art possible, meaning that the entire planet counts.

That's not the only one, note that Max is the one who is the most visibly creeped out by Tycho.

Even Gabe gets in on this from time to time. As part of a new years resolution, he stated that he was giving up bizarre Internet porn because he didnt want to get caught tugging it at the Aquarium's jellyfish section anymore.

There's a running gag in Brathalla that Tyr's proclamations of loving animals to be taken as an admittance that he's a zoophile, to where Fenrir asked him not to get too close.

In DM of the Rings, the DM/Tolkien explains how the Rohirrim are such excellent riders. The players paraphrase it as "The guys with unnaturally close relations with their horses". Cue Gimli rolling a natural 1 on his diplomacy check...

Even the Furry Fandom gets in on this gag sometimes. Background information for Concession mentions that the Church of Gaia is looked down upon somewhat in-universe for its advocation of sex between furries and non-anthropomorphic animals. Artie's doctor is briefly mentioned to have a fetish for sharks, and after the incident with Chelsie Artie claims Joel has no right to judge him because of "that time you woke up with that feral dog".

When discussing past crimes countries have been accused of, it's discovered that Sweden was arrested for zoophilia. In his defense, he was young, horny and it was a really cute horse.

Wales is in a relationship with New Zealand...who is a sheep. Somehow, they even have a child together, New South Wales. Norway's brain broke when he realized that. (For the record, NSW is a talking lamb.)

In that same comic, Denmark expressed interest in banging a sheep too. In HIS defense, he was drunk, but still, it IS Denmark we're talking about here.

In another comic the Netherlands casually admitted that he and Denmark used to steal England's sheep and screw them when they got stoned, but since it's now illegal to screw them they just dress the sheep in bikinis and let them wander their gardens.

In Keychain of Creation, building on the Exalted example above, Marena, an Anything That Moves fox-totem Lunar, is quizzed by renegade Deathknight Secret on how many people she's had sex with. Her response ends with the memorable line, "Define people."

Hank of Indefensible Positions named his horse Uni, but states that it's not short for Unicorn. "See, a unicorn is a horse with a magical horn. When I got to know this pony, I named her Unicu-" Fortunately, he's interrupted before he can finish, but he later makes a philosophical point by describing what it's like to have sex with a horse. Zoophilia is kind of his defining trait, in his second appearance he pretty much states as such.

The now-wife of webcomic artist David Hopkins, creator of Jack, was allegedly stalked and severely harassed by a creepy ex-boyfriend who had boasted repeatedly to her of his ... misadventures ... involving the blowholes of beached dolphins. They had such problems with him they took out their frustrations by putting an Expy of him in the comic, condemned by Hell to be raped and otherwise assaulted by dolphins for eternity, and setting the language filter on the comic's forum to translate every instance of his first name to "Dolphinfucker".

Referenced when the Oracle predicts his next death at the hands of a druid client and asks his friends to be ready with a Resurrection spell "when I tell him yes, his wife is cheating on him, and the other man is his animal companion. Turns out giving enhanced intelligence to a critter who is literally hung like a bear doesn't always work out the way you'd think."

Elan needs an excuse to leave the room:

Elan: Uh, dad? Haley and I need to go have sex. Haley: Come on, V. And bring the cat, just in case. Tarquin: ...Huh.

Florence and Winston's relationship in Freefallisn't exactly this, but it's referenced in these terms a few times (most obviously when Winston remarks that it's inappropriate for a doctor to get involved with his patients, but even less appropriate for a veterinarian to do so). Given who the more proactive party is, it is also treated as something else.

Katerina of Gunnerkrigg Court develops a mutual attraction with a boy named Alistair who is visiting the Court for a week. To make a long story short, he gets permanently turned into a bird at the end of that week. Now, this in itself is innocent enough; after all, she fell in love with Alistair while he was still human, and she didn't know anything about him turning into a bird until right when he was about to leave. But immediately after this whole arc, Katerina is later shown sharing with Antimony a picture of a "cute boy" — in an ornithological journal. She also seems to have an implied bird fetish in later strips.

Victoria of The Twilight Chronicles is heavily hinted to have slept with Jacob's dog. It's more or less confirmed a few episodes later when Carlisle mentions that he left Mexico because Victoria wanted to bring dogs into their sex life.

Amaranth in Tales of MU is bound by her nature to have sex with intelligent beings who want it. She sends her goddess burnt offerings of reports on animal cognition in the hopes of having the definition expanded.

Possibly deconstructed by the short web series, There she is!!; the manner of revulsion from the public caused by a relationship between a rabbit and a cat seems to be portrayed somewhere between Fantastic Racism and straight up bestiality. Especially deconstructed because the rationale behind such an extreme hatred is completely lost on the viewer.

If one can read their site (They're Korean), this is intentional.

Skippy's List Of Things Not To Do In The US Army involves this at some level.

When The Cinema Snob reviewed Island of Death, he understandably couldn't get past the fact that the male character did, in fact, screw a goat. And more often than not, Snob fears some bestiality will occur - or just finds some subtext for it (such as Oh Heavenly Dog, where a woman basically falls in love with a man trapped in the dog Benji's body).

Welshy, in order to prove he's British to Mike J, stated that the things he had screwed included a bagel, his sister, and a goat.

In The Nostalgia Critic review of Signs, Doug dubs the voices of the aliens when he wonders what they could possibly be saying during their time of their attack. After one tries to break down a door and fails, after being insulted the alien calls the other alien a "slug fucker".

A 2007 Award is entitled "A Cow-ardly Death", caused by "unwanted amorous advances on a heifer". Said heifer kicked her would-be suitor to death.

Another account recalls a rather inebriated half-naked man being treated for a crotch filled with porcupine quills. The patient was unable to state exactly what happened due to drunkenness and pain, but it is not hard to guess.

this one involves a guy reportedly attempting sex with a raccoon, which mangled the offending parts. It's probably an urban legend though.

Played to comedic effect in the DC Universe-based online role-plays of JLA_Watchtower and DC Nation. The characters are taking the 5,000-question online "purity test," and Gar Logan's girlfriend (an OC who is an animal-based shape-shifter like he is) quips, "Honey, just how DO we answer those bestiality questions?"

In Brad Jones' Demo Reel, Henrietta lists a number of animals she is willing to have sex with if she'll be paid in heroin.

Parody artist Jon Cozart, a.k.a. Paint, mocks the Happily Ever After ending of Beauty and the Beast in his "After Ever After" video with the notion that after her marriage the townsfolk accuse Belle of bestiality and throw her in prison.

Implied with Chef. He's looking through a book of photos of him and the many women he's made love to. When Cartman points to a picture of him naked with a goat and asks what he was doing he says it's nothing.

Several episodes and The Movie reference or portray zoophilia for comic effect. In "Douche and Turd", PETA members are portrayed as being married to various animals. One member has even had a child with an ostrich. The resulting abomination is desperately begging for someone to kill it.

In a strange variation, Cartman attempts to train a pony to bite Scott Tenorman's penis off. He builds an effigy of his enemy, and attaches a hotdog to represent the pe—well, you can picture it. Cartman is dismayed when, instead of biting the hotdog, the horse fellates it. It becomes a Funny Background Event while Cartman has a conversation with Jimbo and Ned.

Don't forget their depiction of Kanye West, who, at the end of his episode, declares himself to be a "gay fish" and launches into a song sequences that features him performing oral sex on various fish.

Back when Peter first became a fisherman, him and the guys play a game of "I Never", in which you had to take a shot if you ever did anything that any of the others said they never did. Quagmire ends up getting wasted more and more with each shot. One of them involved giving a monkey a reach-around.

From the same episode, Peter develops a rivarly with a fellow fisherman. At one point, he switches out the sign at Peter's fish stall with one that says "I Had Sex With All These Fish", catching the interest of a passing man.

Man: Wow. So how do you do it? Peter: Well, I throw the old worm out there, they usually go for that, and after struggling a bit they lie back and accept it. Man:[gives Peter a card with his phone number] We should get together later. Peter: Uh, okay?

Quagmire also apparently got it on with a turtle once, during a Cutaway Gag that has Quagmire sticking his head out of a turtle shell to see if there was something going on. The turtle asks if something's wrong, but Quagmire dismisses it and retreats back inside.

Under normal circumstances, Brian's many, many human girlfriends would definitely count, but aside from a brief mention by Peter they aren't even seen as unusual in the slightest... until Brian traveled to an alternate universe where humans' and dogs' roles were reversed. Then his desire for human women became Squick. Stewie has also made advances on Brian from time to time, but the show doesn't comment on this either.

Happens again in "Farmer Guy", when Chris's favorite hen lays a massive egg that hatches into a big chicken with his face.

Early: You wanna bang y'allself a goat? 'Cause the goat's dead, but, uh, we c'n still do this thang. Hell, I'll give you boys a discount!

The main characters are a family of squids in a world otherwise inhabited by humans. By definition any sex they have is either this or incest.

Early's cousin is a "civilized" squid from the city who has a wife and two kids (The wife and daughter are human. The son is... Cthulhuian.) They end up tricking Rusty to go live with them after seeing how horrible his life is. His wife later seduces Rusty. They get caught in the act, but it's implied that he did her at least once before.

A later season has a two-parter involving Rusty getting his human cousin pregnant and choosing to be there for her as a father.

Another skit involved a human fangirl wanting to have sex with Alvin, much to the disgust of everyone else. When they are alone, she was offput by his scent (which she described as gamy) and his retractable genetalia. Subverted at the end when Theodore and Simon have sex with the fangirl's previously-disgusted friends.

A sketch involving the Wuzzles involves Bumblelion and Eleroo thinking about how they came to be, showing their respective parents doing it. They then express disgust at the implications of Donkeyhuman's parents.

Yet another sketch featuring the Harry Potter characters James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew has them turn into animals to distract Remus Lupin after he turns into a werewolf. James, who transforms into a deer, immediately mounts a doe, prompting Sirius to call him out for being disgusting. James defends his actions on the principle of "When in Rome" and Peter admits he's fucked plenty of rats as a rat. The sketch ends with the doe revealing itself to be Professor McGonagall.

When asked how she became so great at sex, Pam ascribes it to growing up on a dairy farm.

Dr. Krieger seems to have a similar relationship as Malory to Piggly 3.

In the Gravity Falls episode "Irrational Treasure", we learn it is legal to marry a woodpecker in Gravity Falls thanks to the town's eccentric founder.

There's also Old Man McGucket and his "Racoon Wife", who, judging by how she keeps running away from him, may not be consenting.

The Tex Avery Show often approaches this dangerously close (like one of the Cro-Magnons marrying a dino, or other gags in this vein — obviously, not even remotely actual sex, it's a kids show after all...).

In Sealab 2021 Marco is allegedly killed when he's caught having sex with a shark by the shark's husband. This resulted in a half-human, half-shark, Sharko.

Brad: Get your human penis out of my wife's sharkgina!

The first episode of Perfect Hair Forever has a talking tree openly admit that he has sex with dogs.

In Castlevania (2017), One of the patrons at the bar Trevor was drinking in has a loud conversation about how he hit another man with a shovel for catching him in the act of screwing one of his goats.

Steven Universe: In "Earthlings", Jasper's forceful fusion with a Corrupted Quartz can be interpreted this way, if one is to go by the idea that fusion is G-Rated Sex.
